Also Known As: Discover Your Own Pattern
The students have enough knowledge of the subject addressed by some of the more simple patterns and they probably already applied the pattern solution without knowing that this was a pattern implementation. You now want to show the students where patterns come from.
Students see patterns as something that intelligent people have written. They don’t understand that these mostly are captured “best known practices" and that experienced people use them without thinking about them.
Therefore: Show students how patterns emerge by letting them discover an existing and well-known pattern by themselves.
We consider this pattern as true invariant, taking into account that it is only applicable for patterns which match with the experience of the students or pattern learners. It was for example used for introducing pedagogical patterns during a lecturer’s workshop and also during a presentation at the Dutch Conference on Computer Science Education in 2011[3].
